Transcripts

this tuflow album is not good tuflow is

a Swedish pop singer whose new singles

from this latest album over here I've

been keeping track of I'm not completely

sure why I was seeing her music posted

everywhere and just got a little curious

and thought okay what's everybody

checking out what's everybody talking

about what's everybody hyping up over

here but cool girl influence true

disaster in my opinion three of the

blandest pop singles of the year so I

wasn't really sure what was going to be

so great about this album and now that

it's out here it's it's really one of

the most wash rinse repeat boring like

nothing interesting nothing original

nothing even memorable going on on a

single track here and the things that do

stick out as memorable are like funny

for example on the title track here and

I didn't think she would go in this

direction I didn't think anybody would

be um clueless enough to go in this

direction but when I see the title lady

would the part of my head that's in the

gutter thinks somebody is saying like

Lady boner you know like oh I'm a woman

and I'm turned on so I have lady wood

but I actually thought when I heard the

song I was gonna hear some kind of

metaphor for something or here lady

would kind of turn in a different way

but no that's literally what she means

she is using the phrase lady wood in a

sexy way over this EDM instrumental

talking about this person who she's

interested in giving her lady hood she's

seriously singing about having lady wood

I don't know if there's a less sexy way

to reference sex s Nerf ever she and you

know I'm not saying people should or

shouldn't say a certain phrase you know

I think saying a lady wood or lady boner

completely fine if you're is just using

in conversation and maybe you're trying

to be a little funny or you're using

ironically but like seriously trying to

come through and like tell some guy who

you're into like yeah

you give me some real lady wood hahaha

listen ladies I know men are sort of

depicted as you know these [ __ ] machines

who just have sex on the mind all the

time but you can weird a guy out and

telling him you have lady wood is one of

those ways The Wiz Kalifa feature on

influence was cringy as hell especially

the moment where he's talking about him

and tuflow oh wow you guys are cool

together the song vibes is like this

acoustic cut that comes out of nowhere

that is just as forgettable as every

other song on here

there's just nothing about this record

this even faintly original it's just so

plain it's just so a uninvent hrus and

not only are the vocals on this thing

just dime-a-dozen not only are the

instrumentals on this thing dime-a-dozen

but the lyrics are really something to

behold i mean of course you can't expect

that from somebody singing about their

lady wood but take the song imaginary

friend for example really the lyrics on

this track stand out to me as being a

really really worthy of a Nobel Prize

probably 3040 years down the road Bob

Dylan people said you're not a superstar

can't jump that far you know better

got my armor on the super glue can power

through yeah whatever yeah whatever

I concur imaginary friend stay with me

till the end keeping me dreaming

imaginary friend stay with me till the

end now over over again uh this is on uh

this is on Universal apparently you can

walk right into Universal and they're

just handing out record contracts

they're just [ __ ] giving them away

they're actually like on a pedestal as

you walk through the door and all you

gotta do is sign the bottom and you're

in Swedish pop has taken a nosedive

since ABBA I'll say that much Sweden you

guys have to have better than this I

mean come on you know I can appreciate

that like on a song such as cool girl

she at least has a topic or a concept in

mind that comes through clearly in the

lyrics like she's not trying to put this

label on this relationship that she has

with this guy maybe is not to scare him

away or just to kind of keep things fun

and vibrant and you know spontaneous but

still it doesn't change the fact that

musically and vocally there's really

nothing special about this record it's

like you know a basic cable package it's

like a slice of bread that was just so

ever lightly toasted with no butter

on it no nothing or you know like one of

those knockoff handbags that you buy

down in Chinatown you know it's not a

something that you like for what it is

you like it more for what it resembles

it's just really odd because I haven't

heard an artist in a while who has this

hard tried to fade so seamlessly into

the modern pop landscape that scanning

the horizon you wouldn't even notice her

because this album is just like

literally another face in the crowd I'm

not really sure if I have anything else

to say about this album it's just so

forgettable it's just so plain yeah it's

a it's not good position and that is the

video that is the review here I hope you

have given this album a listen and let

me know what you think of it down in the

comments all sorts of links next to my

head subscription videos and that's it

guys I appreciate you watching hope

you're doing well and I'll I'll see you

again soon
